Pep Guardiola, manager of Manchester City, expressed optimism regarding midfielder Rodri's recovery from a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) sustained in September 2024.
Initially expected to miss the remainder of the season, Rodri has made significant progress, returning to individual training sessions.
Guardiola noted, "I hope—wish. It would be nice if he could play tomorrow, but we have to be careful not to make the wrong decision and take a step back."
Meanwhile, Guardiola is hopeful that Rodri will be available for the upcoming Club World Cup in June. He remarked, "He's behaving really well on the pitch already, but competition is completely different, so we will see."
Guardiola emphasized a cautious approach to Rodri's return, prioritizing long-term fitness over immediate participation. He stated, "One step at a time, we don’t have to make stupid decisions to come back weeks earlier and suffer setbacks."
Rodri's potential return is eagerly anticipated, given his pivotal role in Manchester City's midfield.
